Default Biggest Choke ever

I really didn't watch too much TV this wekend and just heard about/saw this now.
It's really unbelieveable, you would think that you were watching a movie. Got to feel bad for the poor kid as he will probably be the new Jean Van de Velde. Remembered for grasping defeat out of the jaws of certain victory.

He literally could have laid off the gas the last lap and still won the race. I can't think of a bigger mistake in a bigger race than this one.

Yeah, rookie mistake but wow! I've never been in a car going in excess of 200mph so I guess I can't relate but gotta feel sorry for the kid, hopefully he can recover emotionally from this.
